Q

How do you do a White bucket test?

A
  1. ) Siphon 1 gal. from fuel truck and check for sediments
  2. ) If present, siphon another gallon (up to 3 gals).
  3. ) If after 3 gals, there is still sediments, don’t use fuel truck. Write in “remarks” section of logcan.

33
In flight, when do you have to contact dispatch?

1 statute mile (or 5,000' RVR). Applies to 1 and 2 engine ops.
38
When do we need a 2nd alternate airport?
When both destination and first alternate airport have marginal WX.
39
What is considered marginal WX for the purpose of determining 2nd alternate?
Destination airport WX ceiling is < 1,000' OR < 3 sm vis. AND alternate airport WX ceiling is < 600' OR < 2 sm vis.
40
What is "Exemption 17347"?
Allows dispatch to destination airport when WX conditional language (TEMPO or PROB) is below approach minimums. 2nd alternate airport is required.
41
For "exemption 17347" to apply what does the TAF have in the main body and conditional language for destination, alternate and 2nd alternate airport?
Destination - Main body vis = 100% and Cond Lang = 50% visibility Alternate - Main body visibility and ceiling = 100% of derived alt mins and Cond Lang visibility and ceiling = 50% of derived alt mins. 2nd Alternate - Main body visibility and ceiling = 100% of derived alternate mins and Cond. Lang. = 100% visibility and ceiling of derived alt mins.
42

What is Driftdown Method 1? (To the destination)
Aircraft max takeoff weight that ensures that if an engine failure occurs anywhere from V1 to destination, the aircraft's net altitude will clear all obstructions 5 sm either side of the intended route by 1,000'. Based on forecast winds and temps aloft, bleed configuration, and ice protection configuration.
72
What is Driftdown Method 2? (Divert to suitable alternate)
Aircraft max takeoff weight that requires that if an engine failure occurs, the aircraft must be able to divert to at least 1 suitable airport from normal cruise altitude and the aircraft's net driftdown altitude will clear all obstructions 5 sm either side of the route of flight by 2,000' vertically until reaching the diversion airport. Based on forecast winds and temp aloft, bleed config, and ice protection config.
73
